Overview
AI Inspections Pro is an advanced add-on for Whip Around Inspections that uses artificial intelligence to help review inspection photos, form responses, and driver comments.
It is designed to give managers an extra layer of visibility by identifying potential issues that may need further review, such as visible damage, missed defects, or differences between inspection notes and submitted photos.
AI Inspections Pro does not replace your team’s inspection process. Instead, it helps your business catch issues earlier, improve inspection consistency, and reduce the time spent manually reviewing inspection submissions.
How AI Inspections Pro Works
Once enabled, AI Inspections Pro reviews eligible inspection photos and related inspection information after an inspection is submitted. AI Inspections Pro can help with:
Photo analysis
AI reviews uploaded inspection photos and looks for possible issues such as:
Scratches
Dents
Rust
Leaks
Visible wear or damage
Other anomalies that may require attention
Inspection completion checks
AI can help confirm whether required inspection tasks have been completed correctly.
For example, if an inspection requires a photo of the cab to confirm it is clean, AI can review the submitted photo and flag anything that may need further attention.
Cross-checking photos and comments
AI compares inspection photos with the notes or comments submitted by the driver or operator.
For example, if a driver comments “no issues” but the photo appears to show visible damage, AI may flag the inspection for review.
AI suggestions
When AI identifies something that may need follow-up, the item appears directly in your Inspection History. From there, your team can review the inspection, view the AI suggestion, and decide whether to create a defect or ignore the suggestion — without leaving the page.
Why Use AI Inspections Pro?
AI Inspections Pro helps your team work more efficiently and confidently by adding another layer of review to your inspection process.
Catch issues earlier
Identify potential problems as soon as they appear, helping reduce downtime and avoid costly repairs.
Save time
AI helps review inspection photos and information, so managers can spend less time manually checking submissions and more time taking action.
Improve safety and compliance
Consistent inspection reviews help support safer assets, better maintenance decisions, and stronger compliance processes.
Act faster on flagged issues
AI suggestions appear inline in Inspection History, so there are fewer clicks between seeing a flagged photo and creating the defect that fixes it.
Increase confidence in inspection results
Every eligible inspection can receive an additional AI-powered review, helping your team catch things that may otherwise be missed.
Using AI Inspections Pro
Enable AI Analysis on Inspection Photo Cards
AI Inspections Pro can be controlled at the photo-card level within your inspection forms. This gives you flexibility over which inspection photos should be analyzed by AI. To enable AI analysis for a photo card:
Log in to Whip Around.
Go to Inspections.
Select Forms.
Open an existing inspection form that includes a photo card, or create a new form with a photo card.
Locate the photo card you want AI to review.
Turn on the Analyze photos with AI toggle.
When this toggle is turned on, photos captured using that photo card may be analyzed by AI Inspections Pro.
To stop AI analysis for a photo card, turn the Analyze photos with AI toggle off.

Access AI Inspections Pro
AI suggestions now live directly inside your Inspection History page. There is no separate screen to visit.
Go to Inspection History from the left-hand navigation menu.
In the grid toolbar, turn on the Inspections Pro toggle.
A new AI suggestions column appears in the table.
The toggle defaults to off on your first visit, and your choice is saved per browser so the view you left is the view you return to.

View AI Suggestions on the Dashboard
The Inspections Pro widget on your main dashboard gives you a quick view of recently flagged inspections without opening Inspection History.
Go to Dashboard → Main dashboard.
Scroll to the Inspections Pro section.
Use the arrows on the right to page through flagged inspections.
Each card shows the inspection photo AI flagged, the photo card name, the inspection result, the asset and driver, and the inspection number.
Select View all issues to open Inspection History, where you can review the full suggestion and create a defect or ignore it.

Review AI-Flagged Inspections
With Inspections Pro toggle on, any inspection AI has flagged shows a badge in the AI suggestions column.
Click any row with AI suggestions to expand it inline.
Review the suggestion cards inside the expanded row.
Each suggestion card shows the inspection photo, the AI description of what was identified, and the driver's comment for that item, so you can compare them side by side.
From the suggestion card, you can:
Create defect - opens a defect drawer pre-filled with the suggestion details.
Ignore AI suggestion - dismisses the suggestion. An individual undo is available immediately afterwards.
Thumbs up / Thumbs down - gives feedback that helps improve AI accuracy over time.
The row badge updates automatically to reflect the action taken, so you can see at a glance which inspections still need attention.

Ignore Suggestions in Bulk
If a batch of suggestions is not relevant, you can clear them together.
Select multiple rows in the Inspection History table.
Select Ignore suggestions.
Confirm in the modal.
Only pending suggestions are ignored. Suggestions that have already been turned into defects or previously ignored are skipped, and each ignored suggestion can still be undone individually afterwards.

Export AI Suggestions in CSV
When you export inspections to CSV, subscribed users get an additional AI suggestions count column showing how many suggestions each inspection has.
This column is always included for subscribed users, regardless of whether the Inspections Pro toggle is on. Existing export columns are unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does AI Inspections Pro replace my operators?
No. AI Inspections Pro is designed to support your operators, not replace them.
Operators should continue completing inspections as normal. AI Inspections Pro adds an extra layer of review to help identify things that may have been missed and give managers greater confidence in inspection results.
How accurate is AI Inspections Pro?
AI Inspections Pro is trained to detect common issues such as scratches, dents, rust, leaks, and visible damage.
While no AI system is perfect, it can help reduce the chance of missed defects by flagging possible issues for your team to review. Your team should always review AI suggestions before deciding whether action is required.
Thumbs up and thumbs down feedback on each suggestion also helps improve the AI model over time.
Do I need to change how inspections are completed?
No. Drivers and operators complete inspections the same way they do today.
AI Inspections Pro works in the background after inspections are submitted. It reviews eligible photos, inspection cards, and comments based on your configuration.
Where do I see AI-flagged issues?
AI-flagged items appear directly in Inspection History. Turn on the Inspections Pro toggle in the grid toolbar to show the AI suggestions column.
From there, you can expand the row to review the inspection details, view the AI suggestion, and decide whether to create a defect or ignore the suggestion.
Who has access to AI Inspections Pro?
